Super Hornets to fly over Coast

BLINK and you might miss it.

They can travel faster than the speed of sound and could cross the Sunshine Coast in a matter of seconds.

But the 20 Super Hornets which will fly over the Sunshine Coast on Friday will be going slow - taking seven minutes to complete the journey from Noosa to Bribie Island.

The Super Hornets will fly across the region as part of a "welcoming ceremony for four new Super Hornets" in a historic event that may never be repeated.

The arrival of the four new aircraft brings the Australian Super Hornet fleet to 24.

I thought that was why they transit through AKL on the delivery flights?!

As far as I know it was only the first 5 that came through via NZ back in March last year.
